On March 14, 2024, Patriarch Bartholomew of Conastantinople, accompanied by the Elder Metropolitan Apostolos of Derkoi, attended the Ramadan (Iftar) dinner upon the invitation of the ruling AK Party, as reported by Orthodox Times.
The event took place at the conference center of the headquarters of the AK Party in Ankara and was attended by 500 guests, including President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, ministers, senior state officials and ambassadors from many countries.
